The Week in Networking

The snow has gone, the ice has gone and the rain - well that is still here but you can not have everything. This can mean only one thing: It is time for January networking to get a show on the road!

The latest spell of networking began last Friday at Oswaldtwistle Mills Business and Conference Centre for their new event, Hotpot for Hotshots. This was a well worthwhile event. The event was attended by over 75 business people from the surrounding areas. A good networking slot followed by a short but very informative talk on social media and a delicious hotpot courtesy of Thyme Restaurants made for a couple of hours well spent. I would certainly attend this again (even if just to make the girls jealous with my hotpot tales!)

On Wednesday I also had the pleasure of attending my first Business Over Breakfast meeting in Ramsbottom. Although the early start was a slight shock to the system, it was encouraging to see so many businesses from the area working together and helping each other out with referrals. In this difficult time I think a few more of us could use some BOB club friends. And perhaps a few more of us could do with a BOB club breakfast!
